Time; 8 p.m, • 1 * From a report that I have from the Parry Sound district of the Land and Forest people I learn that they have quite a few crown land parcels for sale, There are approximately 700 surveyed parcels of land avail- able and are situated on various lakes in the Parry Sound dis- trict, The report goes on to say that people building their summer places should make sure that sills or joists should be given a liberal coating of a good wood preservative. In addition the cottage should be well collar- tied and braced to the rafters. D, Burns, the „Forest Protec- tion Supervisor at Parry Sound, warns us all again of forest fire hazard. The main causes of fires to dale have been smokers, burn- ing rubbish and neglected camp- fires. In. the Parry Sound district officials claim that campers are responsible for 23% of the forest fires, It should be borne in mind that all these man-made fires can be prevented if the proper precautions are taken. It has been said that there are four main causes of fires in the woods — lightning, men, women and children, We can't do any- thing about the lightning but we certainly can about thp others. Try and remember, all this can be prevented by taking the proper precaution and we all will be rewarded in the form of.

Drawing, right, show lids et ehe Rotdchute *IA With a soete capsule as it re-enters the atmosphere, deport from Ottawa The political trumpets are sounding out in the far Wes British, Columbia is going to hold a provincial election, and M,P,'s of all parties will be pack- ing their bags for still another politieal pilgrimage; they can't resist the call. B.C. elections are rowdy and rough As a bellwether the Pro- vince is completely unpredic- table. There are five parties in the field this time, Social Credit, OCF, Liberal, Conservative, and. Commtmist. ?Despite the built-in unpreclic- tebility, or perhaps in spite of it, this particular election is of all- eonsnming interest to Ottawa, This is a big one, make no mis- take. For Social Credit, it could be a turning point, The party has been suffering setback after set- back at the hands of Canada's voters. In 1958, Prime Minister Diefenbaker and his Conserva- tives removed the last Social Credit M.P. from the House of Commons. In Saskatchewan re- cently, the Party lost three sit- ting members, and saw its pop- ular vote drop from 22 per cent to 12 per cent. In the scheme of things, the next election held in Canada following that in B.C. will be a Federal election. If Social Cred- it is to make a Federal come- back, it will have to show its strength in B.C. A recent Social Credit gathering in Ottawa heard Premier Bennett of B.C. and Premier Manning of Alberta say Social Credit's greatest appeal Federally is the continued over- whelming support it has garner- ed in those two Provinces. A significant loss of seats, or'a de- feat in B.C., then, would destroy whatever Federal appeal the party may have. There is also a lot at stake for the CCF in this election. The New Party concept is well on its way to reality, and in effect the New Party will be tested at the polls. The Liberals need to improve their position in B,C, Failure to do this could brand the Party as the Party of French-Canada, without a broad national base. Any increase in seats or pop- ular vote would be encouraging to the Liberals, and to become the official opposition would be counted a major victory, The Conservatives, who will be making their strongest bid provincially since 1952, have been taking a drubbing at the polls in recent months, and de- sperately require a shot of en- thusiasm for the Party's entire national organization. The Communists are not a eeriosts entry and can be dis- cour ted, although their unusual- ly linen number of candidates (at least a dozen) poses a number of interesting questions. Present standings in the B.C. House are: Social Credit 38, CCF 10. Liberal 3, Labour 1, for a total of 52 seats. Because of the number of parties in the field. Social Credit has been coasting into office with a min- ority of the popular vote. Here's a breakdown of the popular vote in the last election, back in 1956; Social Credit 374,711, CCF 231,- 507, Liberal 177,921, Conserva- tive 25,077. and Labour 1,321. Total votes cast 810,537, In 1956, Conservative candidates contest- ed less than half the seats. As in the past, Premier Ben- nett is confronted. with three major opposition parties, all of them disorganized. to some de- gree- The Liberals have a new lead- er in Ray Perrault, forme public relations and, advertising man with Al flair for making news, but with no practical ex- perience in the art of politics, al- though he worked in party bead, quarters for a time, He is young, and his popular appeal is un- tested. With some regret, the Con- servatives have held on to party leader Deane Finlayson, who has shown a singular inability to ob- tain a seat in the Legislature in several previous attempts. If tht faith shown in Finlayeon by Federal Conservatives is any criterion, the party must be bad- ly divided, in Robert Straehans the CCF Op- position Leaden is a canny Scots politician given to exces- sive and exaggerated language. There is some question as to the hold he has on the CCF party. In the last session of the Legis- lature, his caucus overruled him on a major issue—Premier Ben- nett's $50 homeowner grants — and Strachan was forced to eat crow, very publicly. All in all, Mr. Bennett has good cause for confidence, A de- feat for his eight-year-old gov- ernment would be considered a greater upset than New Bruns- wick. . There are a dozen issues, none of them of particular interest outside of B.C., with the possible. exception of B,C.'e running bat- tle over power development. Premier Bennett has neatly straddled the fence separating public and private development. On the one hand he promotes the proviate Wenner-Gren. power scheme in the north, and on the other the public Columbia . River development in the south, School financing will be an issue, so will corruption, for the case of Robert Sommers will not soon be forgotten in B,C. Highway construction, debt management, welfare programs (including a health insurance plan) will all be up for public discussions.— For Hunters And Fishermen In other columns I have writ- ten quite often about minor pre- cautions to be taken'before you embark on a hunting, fishing or a camping trip. , These include taking a compass, topographical map, first aid kit and telling someone where you are going and how long you intend to be gone. Recently, in the papers, there was a case of a doctor and his family who were thought to be missing after police learned they had started out on a fishing trip hours before a fierce windstorm swept the district, A plane was dispatched to try and locate them with no success. Further search was called off when the Doctor and his family returned safely, from a camping 'trip to their cottage. There is always considerable expense and heartache involved when someone is reported miss- ing, All this could have been avoided if the people concerned had have told someone what they had planned. * As most of the readers know on September the first this year, any person who' has not had a gun. license will have to produce a certificate of competence show- ing that they have attended and passed a course in hunter Safety. These courses have been run in the recreational and forest areas remaining green and productive, • * Will be going away this com- ing week-end on a fishing jaunt in the Lake-of-Bays area. Have some new plugs to test that were sent to me. They have had one successful work out on bass and trout and if I'm as lucky with therh this time as the last time will tell you more about them. It is an American lure and is really getting the big ones in the southern states. • * I have been in the habit of getting my live bait in. Toronto but not any more. Roy Cosford in Port Credit, was showing me what he has on hand in the line of live bait, His night crawlers sit up and snap at you and I've seldom seen livelier minnows. Maier League Into Nursery Imitating Daddy is an absorb- ing pastime for the four-year- old. His games are based on what he sees his father do and alI the other fathers on the block or on television. In this way he grows up into adult life, However, mothers are sometimes worried when they see their young sons attempt something far beyond their strength. Weightlifting, f o r instance, seems to belong to the grown- up world. The young stalwart can safely stretch and flex his muscles by balancing the bars above his head in this body building exercise. Seems strenu- ous? Not if the "weights" are polythene, A range of these plastic toys snow brings sports into the nur- sery, Even a two-year-old boy can clutch a polythene baseball bat in his chubby hands. AI- though he may confuse a home run with a scamper home for supper he just might,: be laying the foundations for a es:steer in the major league, In any event he'll be having fun and exercising himself with the utmost respect for life and limb, When Junior bashes little Susie on the head the shock ra- ther than the bat will hurt Susie, Tennis racquets, croquet mal- lets, bowls, even parts of fishe ing rods and golf clubs are made of this tough yet lightweight material. It is only a few years ago since polythene blocks for toddlers were the only toys con- structed of this practical stuff. Now almost every toy can be found in polythene. When Junior tires of sports he can do a man-sized job in the garden — just like Daddy. A rake, minus menacing sharp teeth, will help tidy up the flower beds and for the real man's work there's a spade, a hoe and a wheelbarrow. Some of these implements can be ta- ken to the beach where they come in handy for digging cas- tles and fortresses. And there are no sharp edges to cause the slightest scratch on infant hands or legs.

Ten Counties !Represented At the New Toronto Ontario .Hospital nurses' aids and attend- ants graduating ceremony this week the roll call read like a United Nations Assembly. Twenty-three young men and women from 10 different coun- tries who shared a common pur- pose for the past eight months, met to be honoured by hospital superintendent Dr. H. C. Moore- house, and Director of Nursing Pearl Gavan, R.N., in the hos- pital cafeteria, Aim of the group as they studied and worked at the hos- pital was the Ontario Depart- ment of Health Diploma award- ed to successful graduates at the endof the course conducted by Nursing Instructress Meade. Comparing the graduates' training to similar operations conducted by other hospitals, Mrs. Meade pointed out the spe- cial requirements needed by mentally ill out-patients of the Ontario Hospital. "In addition to caring for their physical welfare, our graduates are shown how to assist the pa- tients in their mental outlook," Mrs. Meade said, and empha- sized the importance of such training e a r Ins in the nurse's career. During the ceremony the gra- duating students were addressed by Dr. Moorehouse who congra- tulated them on the completion of the course. Director of Nurs- ing Gavan presented the diplo- mas to the 14 men and 9 girls, The successful graduates were: Elsie Bawa, South. Africa; Juli- ana Bodrogi, Hungary; Eva Der- eskey, Hungary; Edith Gloeck- ler, Germany; Helga Eigenranch, Germany; Eliz a be t h Hilton, England; Ivy Harris, England; Antoinette Mauro, Italy; Nelty Steffen, Luxembourg; Villis An- dersons, Latvia; Alfred Bateson, England; D, Bogclanovitch, Yu- goslavia; Frank Gorisek, Yugo- slavia; Harold Hopper, Canada; Some people refuse to come up to the front of the church unless escorted by pallbearers.
